The company previously discussed plans to bring iOS apps to Mac during last year's developers conference. The report also indicates Apple plans to do the same for iPhone apps in 2020. While app makers will still have to submit their programs to both the iOS and macOS App Store in the near term, the move would save them the trouble of writing the same code twice. The company is planning to debut a new software development kit at its Worldwide Developers Conference that would let app makers port their iPad apps to Mac, the report says. While the program won't launch until 2021, Apple is reportedly planning to begin making it easier for developers to create cross-platform apps as soon as this year. Apple is calling the initiative 'Marzipan' internally.
Apple is planning to allow developers to create apps that work across its Mac, iPhone, and iPad operating systems by 2021, according to a new report from Bloomberg.
